Visual Studio Code Formatting



  1. Instead of formatting the code while saving or by applying the key combination Ctrl + K, Ctrl + F or Alt + Shift + F, I need to format the current line of code while hitting the Enter key. This feature is already available in Visual Studio, but not found in Visual Studio Code.
  2. Visual Studio 2017 version 15.3 Option values true - Place a space character after the opening parenthesis and before the closing parenthesis of a method declaration parameter list false - Remove space characters after the opening parenthesis and before the closing parenthesis of a method declaration parameter list.

You can also create a custom format definition.clang-format or clang-format file. Aff myanmar football game apk. If such a file is present in a project folder, Visual Studio uses it to format all source code files in that folder and its subfolders. By default, Visual Studio runs clangformat.exe in the background applies formatting.

You can define code style settings per-project by using an EditorConfig file, or for all code you edit in Visual Studio on the text editor Options page. For C# code, you can also configure Visual Studio to apply these code style preferences using the Code Cleanup (Visual Studio 2019) and Format Document (Visual Studio 2017) commands.

Code styles in EditorConfig files

Code style settings for .NET can be specified by adding an EditorConfig file to your project. EditorConfig files are associated with a codebase rather than a Visual Studio personalization account. Settings in an EditorConfig file take precedence over code styles that are specified in the Options dialog box. Use an EditorConfig file when you want to enforce coding styles for all contributors to your repo or project.

You can manually populate your EditorConfig file, or you can automatically generate the file based on the code style settings you've chosen in the Visual Studio Options dialog box. This options page is available at Tools > Options > Text Editor > [C# or Basic] > Code Style > General. Click Generate .editorconfig file from settings to automatically generate a coding style .editorconfig file based on the settings on this Options page.

Code styles in the Options dialog box

Code style preferences can be set for all of your C# and Visual Basic projects by opening the Options dialog box from the Tools menu. In the Options dialog box, select Text Editor > [C# or Basic] > Code Style > General.

Each item in the list shows a preview of the preference when selected:

Options set in this window are applicable to your Visual Studio personalization account and aren't associated with a particular project or codebase. In addition, they aren't enforced at build time, including in continuous integration (CI) builds. If you want to associate code style preferences with your project and have the styles enforced during build, specify the preferences in an .editorconfig file that's associated with the project.

Preference and severity

For each code style setting on this page, you can set the Preference and Severity values using the drop-downs on each line. Severity can be set to Refactoring Only, Suggestion, Warning, or Error. If you want to enable Quick Actions for a code style, ensure that the Severity setting is set to something other than Refactoring Only. The Quick Actions light bulb , error light bulb , or screwdriver icon appears when a non-preferred style is used, and you can choose an option on the Quick Actions list to automatically rewrite code to the preferred style.

Enforce code styles on build

Starting in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.8, which includes the .NET 5.0 RC2 SDK, you can enforce the .NET coding conventions on build for all .NET projects. At build time, .NET code style violations will appear as warnings or errors with an 'IDE' prefix. This enables you to strictly enforce consistent code styles in your codebase.

Apply code styles

You can configure the Format Document command (Edit > Advanced > Format Document) to apply your code style settings (from an EditorConfig file or Code Style options) along with the regular formatting that it does (such as indentation). If an .editorconfig file exists for the project, those settings take precedence.

Note

Applying code styles by using the Format Document command is only available for C# code files. This is an experimental feature.

Configure which settings you want Format Document to apply on the Formatting options page.

Tip

Rules configured with a severity of None don't participate in code cleanup but can be individually applied via the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu.

The first time you trigger the Format Document command, a yellow info bar prompts you to configure your code cleanup settings.

For C# code files, Visual Studio 2019 has a Code Cleanup button at the bottom of the editor (keyboard: Ctrl+K, Ctrl+E) to apply code styles from an EditorConfig file or from the Code Style options page. If an .editorconfig file exists for the project, those are the settings that take precedence.

Tip

Rules configured with a severity of None don't participate in code cleanup but can be individually applied via the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu.

Visual Studio Code Formatting Shortcut

First, configure which code styles you want to apply (in one of two profiles) in the Configure Code Cleanup dialog box. To open this dialog box, click the expander arrow next to the code cleanup broom icon and then choose Configure Code Cleanup.

After you've configured code cleanup, you can either click on the broom icon or press Ctrl+K, Ctrl+E to run code cleanup. You can also run code cleanup across your entire project or solution. Right-click on the project or solution name in Solution Explorer, select Analyze and Code Cleanup, and then select Run Code Cleanup.

If you want your code style settings to be applied every time you save a file, you may like the Code Cleanup on Save extension.

Description

The main purpose of this extension is to provide a standard way to format and sort tags for metadata files (with extension '.xml' ) on Salesforce orgs. The tags inside the XMLs are sorted in a fixed order following Salesforce-specific set of rules. The final goal is to be able to work easily with git using a repository shared by multiples developers, minimizing the number of conflicts detected at the time of doing the merges.

Features

This is a formatter extension. It implements the Formatting API following the VS Code's guiding principles.The core benefit of using the extension API for implementing a formatter comes from the exposure of the Format Document and Format Selection actions. These actions are available in the editor context menu, bound to keyboard shortcuts, and visible in the Command Palette.
